Holy Scripture

Job 6:25

A church father on this verse
“Job's words mean … "It is likely you have suffered the same in many things." Truth, however, is always hateful to many. Therefore, you despise my words of truth. "You do not come down to me," Job says, "nor do you speak about the gifts of grace like people who desire to encourage. On the contrary, you accuse me openly…”
Olympiodorus of Alexandria, 6th c. — COMMENTARY ON JOB 6:24-27

In context

23To deliver me from enemies, Or to rescue me from the hand of the mighty ones?

24Teach ye me, and I will be silent: If in anything I have erred, tell me.

— Job 6:25 —

26Neither will your reproof cause me to cease my words, For neither will I endure the sound of your speech.

27Even because ye attack the fatherless, And insult your friend.
